As its multimillion-dollar makeover continues, a massive Henrico County office building has pulled another tenant out of Innsbrook.

Accounting firm Yount Hyde & Barbour signed a lease for 7,800 square feet at Deep Run III, the former home of collapsed electronics giant Circuit City.

Yount Hyde & Barbour will relocate from Innsbrook’s Vantage Pointe building at 4405 Cox Road in September.

It will lose almost a quarter of its space in the move to Deep Run. But Curtis Thompson, a principal at the firm, said the new office will be a better fit for the 22-person operation.

“We’ve found a more efficient way of arranging in the new space, which has actually made room for more staff and left room to grow in the new space with about 2,000 square feet less,” Thompson said.

The smaller space will also cut YHB’s rent bill, though Thompson declined to specify how much the firm will save. The company signed an eight-year lease at Deep Run, where it will join Travelers Insurance, Essex Bank and four other tenants.

The building flooded the market with nearly 350,000 square feet of office space after Circuit City closed in 2008.

It sat idle until 2011, when local real estate investment firms Diversified Realty Ventures and Markel | Eagle Partners bought the building for $12.4 million. Markel | Eagle has since become the building’s sole owner. The property is currently in the middle of more than $13 million in renovations, and tenants began settling in earlier this year.

Seven tenants have claimed about 157,000 square feet of the 348,000-square-foot space so far.

Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer brokers Brian Berkey and Austin Newman represented Yount Hyde & Barbour in the lease. Fellow Thalhimer broker Mark Douglas represented the landlord.

Newman, who is also marketing Deep Run III, said the entire fourth floor is still available. Half of the third floor and most of the fifth floor also remain vacant.

“We’re about halfway there,” he said. “So we’ve still got a lot of work to do.”
